This is What Happens To The Body When You Eat Pink Himalayan Salt

Check this one. You are sitting down for an awesome family feast. The
best china, silk cloth, crystal glasses – it is all there. Yes, there
is fresh apple-cinnamon-ginger juice in the glasses. There are baked,
steam-cooked and sautéed veggies all over the table. Suddenly, someone
grabs the salt and yells out, “Why is your salt pink?”

Be nice and explain everyone that it is Himalayan salt, and that it is super-healthy.

Origin

The Himalayan mountain range goes across Asia, and passes through
China, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and India. People
usually associate the Himalayans with Mount Everest, or the highest peak
on the planet, but there is something even more exclusive about it –
the Himalayan salt.

Hundreds of millions years ago crystallized sea salt beds were covered with lava. Today, they lie deep in the Himalayans.

The salt was not only preserved in a pristine environment surrounded
with snow and ice, but the lava also protected it from pollution. This
is why Himalayan Pink Salt is considered to be the purest salt out
there. Today it is hand-mined from the mountains and later sold on the
market.

Why is it pink?

Its pink color indicates that Himalayan salt is loaded with minerals and energy-rich iron.

Health Benefits

Same as the vitamins and minerals are packed with fruits and veggies, minerals found in this pink salt also work in synergy.

Synergy is an interaction of multiple elements in a certain system
that produces an effect that is different from the other effects.

Iodine – Natural salts are loaded with iodine, and there is no need for it to be additionally added in.

Less sodium per serving – Himalayan salt has the same components as
table salt, but as its crystals are larger than those of refined salt,
this salt has less sodium per 1/4 t serving. This is because the sea
salt flakes take up less room in a teaspoon when compared to the refined
table salt.
